JillandDad,
Fight it with every weapon at your disposal. As far as going elsewhere for treatment, I've been treated by doctors that were trained at the Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh. I had all of my surgeries and treatments, both chemo and radiation done at the Washington Hospital. My treatment plan came from Hillman though. I had choices of where to treat, my company even offered several other options for treatment. I chose to stay home, in the area. To each his own I guess. I just felt comfortable with and more importantly felt a level of trust in the doctors that I had.
Whatever path you choose to go down, Fight as hard and as long as you can.
Good luck,
John
